Three days later, Patricia arrived.
She carried a small envelope.
“Dad, I need you to hear this.”
Inside was a recording.
Jessica’s voice filled the room.
“You don’t understand, Christopher. Your father is old-fashioned. Once he’s gone, everything belongs to us.”
My blood ran cold.
Another voice answered.
Christopher.
“What about Mom?”
Jessica laughed.
“Your mother is harmless.”
Then came the words that changed everything.
“She’s lucky I only pushed her.”
May covered her mouth.
Christopher looked destroyed.
Because he heard his wife say what he refused to believe.
The truth.
Not an accident.

Not a misunderstanding.
A choice.
